The posting

About the role:

The Modular Alliance Program is an industry effort to build one AI software layer, MAX and Mojo, that runs on any silicon, kept compatible by a common conformance test suite. Partners come from four segments: silicon partners (GPU, NPU, ASIC, and CPU vendors), AI labs, deployers (clouds, neoclouds, OEMs, telcos, and national AI programs), and the developer ecosystem (engineering firms that bring up hardware backends and models on new silicon, open-source and compiler consultancies, distribution and tooling platforms, and independent benchmarks). Partners contribute engineering, compute, or early model checkpoints.

You will build and run the Alliance as an organization: membership, legal agreements, governance, the conformance program, and the launch plan. You will also lead business development in the APAC region. You will work with Alliance leadership, our legal, finance, marketing, and engineering teams, and you will run the Alliance day to day after launch.

LOCATION: Candidates based in Taiwan and Japan are welcome to apply and will work remotely. Expect regular travel across the region and periodic travel to the US.

What you will do:

Own the launch plan: timeline, phase gates, and the weekly operating review across outreach, legal, engineering, and marketing. Build and run the agreement pipeline with legal: NDAs, LOIs, contributor license agreements, and partner agreements. Turn the membership framework into a process: tier qualification, benefits and obligations, onboarding, and the annual review of partner commitments. Own the partner funnel and KPI model, and track what partners deliver after signing: engineers, compute, and checkpoints. Own the APAC partner pipeline from target list to signed agreement: domestic silicon vendors, foundation-model labs, clouds and telcos, national AI programs, and engineering-services and tooling firms Hire and lead team members as the Alliance grows.

What you bring to the table:

10+ years across business operations and business development or partnerships at a technology company, including building a program or organization from scratch. Experience closing partnerships in APAC, with relationships across silicon, cloud, or AI. Experience running a partner, alliance, or ecosystem program at scale: tiers, agreements, governance, and commitment tracking. Experience working with legal teams on high-volume contract pipelines. Strong analytical and writing skills: funnel models, KPI reporting, and process documents people use. Technical fluency with AI infrastructure and open-source contribution models.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related technical field. 8+ years of Product Management or related work experience *Completed advanced degrees in a relevant field may be substituted for up to two years (Master's = one year, Doctorate = two years) of work experience.

Helpful, but not required:

Professional proficiency in Chinese Experience with open-source foundations, consortia, or standards bodies, including governance, elections, or conformance programs.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
